Lyrics

Sad I sit on Butternut Hill
Who could blame me cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier

Me oh my I loved him so
Broke my heart to see him go
And only time will heal my woe
Johnny has gone for a soldier

I'd sell my plack, I'd sell my reel
And then I'd sell my spinning wheel 
to buy my love a sword of steel
Johnny has gone for a soldier
